CDL · Hazardous materials
You are hauling two explosives on one truck: 500 pounds in Division 1.1 and 500 pounds in Division 1.2. Which placards have to be displayed?
Correct answer: Placards bearing the word "EXPLOSIVES".
Answer options
- APlacards bearing the word "DANGEROUS"
- BPlacards bearing the word "EXPLOSIVES" Correct
- CPlacards bearing the words "BLASTING AGENTS"
Why
Divisions 1.1 and 1.2 are both explosives, so the vehicle needs EXPLOSIVES placards; when divisions are mixed, only the placard for the lowest-numbered division, here 1.1, has to be shown. A DANGEROUS placard cannot be used for these explosives, and BLASTING AGENTS placards go with Division 1.5.
